Episode 13 - Blueberry Celestial Seasonings Tea

So, we're into Crocktober (known as October for those who aren't hip to the whole Crockpot Revolution) and that means Ghost stories! Stacy, JC, Chuck, Chris, Adrienne, Mo "The Thrill" Starkey and an appearance from Ric Bretschneider! We tell ghost stories, we talk about Ghost movies and more! More than 20 minutes of awesome conversation and a couple of freakinesses!

Episode 12 - The Australian M&Ms discussion...

This time, thanks to the generous nature of our pal Alan Stewert, we're tasting two varieties of M&Ms from Australia. What will we think of them? And why is there a picture of a piece of wood embellishment from The Met in New York? The answer to that question is "I don't know..."

Leaf & Let Die Episode 10 - Tazo Decaff Lotus Blossom or some such...

We drink tea in Texas and it's... interesting. Will Frank, Brad Lyau, The Lovely & Talented Linda Wenzelburger, and a guest appearance by New York Times Best Selling Author and Tea Lover Gail Carriger! I almost feel bad about making her drink this tea...

Leaf & Let Die Episode 9 - Constant Comment

The Lovely & Talented Linda Wenzelburger, and Hillary Pearlman stop and chat while Hillary sketches Chris and the Yeti. Hillary talks art, and we talk about alternative deaths, and somehow Cutting Crew and John Scalzi cross over. PLUS there's an appearance of the great Thomas Olde Heuvelt!

Leaf and Let Die Episode 7 - Decaf Lemon Lift (and Booze)

Debbie Bretschneider brings some Sweet Tea liquor to add to the Tea and we actually enjoy it! We also talk about T-Shirts and Comics and funkiness! Deb, JC Arkham, Two Buck Chuck, Mo The Thrill Starkey and Adrienne Foster!

Episode 5 - Bigelowe's Mint Medley

Episode Four - Bigelowe's Chamomile

Thrill to the joy that is us making Stephen Nelson of the Tea Rage podcast drink Chamomile. We also talk about James Bond and Jules Verne. Chris Garcia is joined by Stephen and JC Arkham and Two-Buck Chuck.
